5.2.1 Installing and Configuring a Development Domain with Oracle JDeveloper

Oracle WebLogic Server is available as part of Oracle JDeveloper Studio. As a result, if you are using Oracle JDeveloper Studio as your integrated development environment (IDE), you can install Oracle WebLogic Server as part of the Oracle JDeveloper installation.

5.2.3 Using the Java Required Files (JRF) Domain Template

When you configure Oracle WebLogic Server, you configure each domain using domain templates. One of the domain templates available with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g is the Java Required Files (JRF) template.

The JRF template provides important Oracle libraries and other capabilities that support new versions of APIs that many OC4J applications depend upon.

When you configure any Oracle Fusion Middleware software suite, you have the option of selecting the JRF template while running the configuration tool.

For more information, refer to the appropriate Oracle Fusion Middleware installation guide.

5.2.3.2 Extending an Existing Domain With the JRF Template

To extend an existing domain with the JRF template, use one of the following methods:

Use the Oracle JDeveloper 11g installer.

In the Oracle JDeveloper installer, select a custom installation and select the ADF Runtime component. This step allows you to install the ADF runtime jar files and domain templates to the server environment.

A version of Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.x) was made available to Oracle customers before the release of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.

If you have already installed and configured an Oracle WebLogic Server domain using the Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.x), then you should be aware that Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and the new Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.1.0) provides a newer version of the Oracle ADF runtime software.
